It was Collins who wrote Fauci with the demand for a “quick and devastating takedown” of the Great Barrington Declaration, a statement that merely reasserted traditional public health wisdom.
Dr. Collins presupposes that the lockdown measures over which he expresses remorse saved lives. Whereas the consequences of his "public health mindset" was that the lockdown "totally disrupts people's lives, ruins the economy, and has many kids kept out of school." All "Collateral damage." Do you see what he's done there? He regrets that the harsh measures he advocated saved lives, but at the cost of being a real bummer for everyone. But the assertion lockdowns saved lives is tendentious, and ignoring that lives were lost due to the harsh measures is absurd.
Remember what a blast he was having while entreating "takedowns" of lab leak theories and advocating for lockdowns? If you don't remember, you're in luck because the guy made a video still prominently displayed by NIH on YT:
